Overview

• Trump told NBC News he would "certainly imagine" the Justice Department is investigating Christopher Wray, calling Wray’s actions "very inappropriate."
• Trump amplified a conservative report alleging 274 plainclothes FBI agents were in the Jan. 6 crowd, a claim mainstream outlets describe as unsubstantiated.
• The DOJ inspector general’s December 2024 report found no evidence of undercover FBI employees in the protest crowds or at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
• The inspector general documented 26 FBI confidential human sources present at Jan. 6 events, with a small number entering restricted areas without authorization.
• Current FBI Director Kash Patel said agents were sent into crowd control after the riot began and blamed "corrupt leadership," while it remains unclear if Wray is actually under investigation.
